ESIC Medical College

The full form of ESIC is Employment State Insurance Corporation. The formulation of the Employment State Corporation Act was done in the year 1948 after the country gained its independence. It was for the social security of workers. At that time the country was dependent on the goods imported from highly developed countries or developing countries because factories weren't good enough in the country. The use of man resources was in only a few industries such as jute, textiles, chemicals etc. The launching of the Social Security system when the country was growing was a remarkable point.

The ESI Act of 1948 was to make sure that the workers get leave for sickness, maternity, temporary or permanent disability, disease and death due to injury which results in their loss of employment and loss of their earning capabilities.

About the College
